Bumrah's spell overpowers Rahul's 94 at Wankhede — Twitter Reactions

They next face the bottom-placed Delhi on Sunday, with victory handing the reigning champions what seemed an unlikely playoff berth just a week ago. Punjab had five wins in their first six matches, but has marked only one win in their next six matches.

Rahul was caught at long-off by Ben Cutting. Bowling the 17th over he leaked just 4 runs and scalped the wickets of Finch and Marcus Stoinis (1). Are these wickets coming better late than never for MI?

At the other end, Aaron Finch was also playing solidly.

Both batsmen fell in successive overs as Krunal was deceived by Marcus Stoinis slower delivery and pulled it to short fine leg.

Despite this, the hosts managed to finish on a high, scoring 11 runs in the final over. Tye bowled a fantastic spell picking up 4 wickets for only 16 runs in four overs. For the starters, if MI lose today, they will be out of the IPL. Ashwin gets his second victim.

This is the biggest test for Ravichandran Ashwin as a captain.

Bumrah's spell overpowers Rahul's 94 at Wankhede — Twitter Reactions

Keeping with Mumbai's modus operandi, Krunal Pandya and Pollard too showed no inclination to take their innings deep. Pollard hit a 22-ball 50 to soar the MI innings past the 150-mark. Suryakumar Yadav, the in-form opener, took it on himself to get the innings going.

MI have had a mixed season so far this year. In the match, they had to defend 186 against the Kings who rallied exclusively on the knock played by KL Rahul.

Barring his match-winning knock against Royal Challengers Bangalore, Rohit has failed to live up to the expectations this season. But, it lost to Rajasthan Royals in the last game. If both Gayle and Rahul get good starts they could open the flood gates for KXIP especially while batting at a small ground like Wankhede.
